Haunted Heist does not currently include a native in-game toggle for inverted controls or inverted camera axis in its settings menu. However, developer autotroph games has officially confirmed on the Steam Community forums that inverted camera options will be added as soon as possible.
Players who require inverted vertical look (Y-axis) currently have to wait for an upcoming game patch or configure controller overrides through the Steam client.
Developer Response to Inverted Camera Requests
During playtests and early sessions of Haunted Heist, players reported issues playing the game without a vertical look inversion setting. In a Steam Community forum thread titled "There really needs to be inverted controls added," a player noted that members of their group were unable to play comfortably due to the lack of an inverted camera toggle.
A developer from autotroph games replied directly to the thread, stating:
"I will get this added ASAP!"
While the native setting was absent at launch, the development team has acknowledged the feature request and prioritized it for an upcoming update.
Official Controller and Camera Features
The official Steam store page for Haunted Heist outlines several accessibility and input features already integrated into the game across Windows and macOS platforms:
| Feature Category | Supported Implementation |
|---|---|
| Controller Support | Full controller support (Xbox, DualShock, DualSense) |
| Visual & Camera Accessibility | Camera Comfort, Color Alternatives |
| Gameplay Accessibility | Playable without Quick Time Events, Playable at Your Own Pace |
| Platforms | Windows 10/11 (64-bit), macOS 12 Monterey or later |
Although "Camera Comfort" is listed under the game's accessibility options on Steam, it does not currently provide an inverted Y-axis toggle for pitch control.
Temporary Workaround via Steam Input (Controller Only)
While mouse users must wait for autotroph games to release the official patch, gamepad users can invert their camera look axis directly through Steam Input. Because Haunted Heist supports full controller integration, Steam's client-level settings can invert the right joystick output.
- Open your Steam Library on PC or Mac.
- Right-click Haunted Heist and select Properties.
- Select the Controller tab and ensure Steam Input is enabled for your connected device.
- Launch the game or open the Controller Layout configurator from the game's Steam library page.
- Select Edit Layout and choose the Joysticks tab.
- Click the settings gear icon next to the Right Joystick Behavior (Camera).
- Scroll down to Output Settings and enable the Invert Vertical Axis toggle.
This configuration tells Steam to reverse the vertical stick input before passing it to the game. Once the developer releases the official in-game inverted control update, remember to revert this Steam Input override to prevent double inversion.
